Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and debilitating condition that impacts 1.2% of U.S. adults. These patients are often treated with a combination of psychotherapy and anti-depressant medication to decrease their OCD symptoms. Though sometimes, these solutions aren’t enough to provide sufficient relief.
As a result, our experts at Family Care Center have sought additional treatment options and have developed transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment techniques targeting the parts of the brain affected by OCD. We’ve found that by stimulating these areas of the brain, we can help patients experience a reduction in their OCD symptoms.
What is OCD?
Individuals with OCD experience persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and feel compelled to perform repetitive actions (compulsions). These symptoms often take up a significant amount of time and can lead to distress or disrupt daily activities. Fortunately, effective treatments are available that can help individuals better manage their symptoms and enhance their overall quality of life.
TMS for OCD: How does it compare to medications or therapy?
We recognize that OCD affects various aspects of a patient’s life. So, our approach encompasses symptom management and addressing the emotional, psychological and social dimensions of their well-being. We accomplish this by providing TMS treatment in conjunction with counseling and medication management.
TMS is a proven, highly effective option for patients who haven’t responded adequately to medication or other treatments. Some of the key benefits of TMS include:
-
- No downtime from work/activities
-
- No additional medication required
-
- Non-invasive with no systemic side effects
-
- FDA-approved, safe and effective
-
- Complements and augments medication and talk therapy
-
- Covered by most major insurance
